ATTACHM EN T FOR CORRUGATlNG-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,916, dated November 8, 1887. Application filed August 2 6, 1887. Serial No. 247,ic9B. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE O. KEENE, a resident of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvemcnts in Attachments for Gorrugating- Machines, of which the following'is a specification.

Myinvention is applicable to that class of corrugating-machines which have a corrugat- IO ing-roller attached to and operating in sliding 'frames.

In the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this application, Figure 1 is a top plan view of a corrugating-machine With-my improved attachment, and Fig. 2 is an end elevation of said machine and attachment.

The corrugating bed-plate A is mounted upon a suitable frame, B, and made stationary therewith. The corrugating roller 0 is jour- 2o naled in the sliding blocks 0, which latter are capable of vertical adjustment in the sliding frames D. The two'sliding framesD are similar in construction, and are secured together, preferably as shown, by the stay-rods d. To

the lower edge of each ofthese sliding frames are attached suitable flanges, (not shown in drawings,) which flanges are preferably cast in one piece with theframe. These flanges are adapted to fit and slide in suitable grooves, E, On the under ably secured the nut-blocks F, through which thescrewrods G pass and operate. These rods are supported and attached to the frame of the 3 3 machine by suitable journal bearings, g, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. To one end of each of these screw-rods G is attached a beveled gear, H, which latter meshes with and is operated by a smaller beveled gear, I, attached to shaft 40 J, which shaft is attached to the frame of the machine by suitablejournal-bearings, K. This shaft J is made to revolve in either direction by any suitable mechanism. In the present instance this reverse motion of the shaft is accomplished through the medium of tight and loose pulleys attached to said shaft, as shown in Fig. 1.

The mode of operation is as follows: The corrugating roller being moved to the edge of the corrugating-bed, the sheet of metal to be corrugated is placed in position on said bed. The corrugating-roller is now made to revolve over the sheet through the agency of the sliding frames D. This sheet of metal is now taken from the bed corrugated, and a new sheet placed in position to be corrugated on the return of the roller 0. This forward and backward movement of the sliding frames is accomplished in the present instance by reversing the rotation of the shaft J, as afore described. This reverse motion of the shaft J turns the screw-rods G in the opposite direction, which rods, passing through and operating in the nutblocks F, reverse the movement ofsaid frames.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure 6 by Letters Patent, is

1. In a corrugatirig-machine, the stationary corrugated bedplate, in combination with a corrugating-roller mounted in a sliding frame, which frame is operated backward and forward by suitable screw-rods passing through and operating in nut-blocks attached to said sliding frame, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of bed-plate A, roller 0, sliding frames D, nut-blocks F, and screwrods G, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination of bed-plate A, roller 0, sliding frames D, nutblocks F, screw-rods G, gears H and I, shaft J, and suitable inech- 8o anisin for operating said shaft, substantially asset forth. I

GEORGE C. KEENE.
